Introduction to Upgrading the Recurring Billing Service

Cybersource
 is replacing the legacy Recurring Billing service with an upgraded Recurring Billing service. You can access the service in the
Business Center
 only, or you can access it in the
Business Center
 along with the REST API for Recurring Billing and the
Token Management Service
 (
TMS
).
The Recurring Billing service is available for the
REST
 API only. The service is not available in the
SCMP
 API or the
Simple Order
 API. If you use the SCMP API or Simple Order API to create and manage subscriptions, you must integrate to the Recurring Billing service that uses the REST API.
With the upgraded Recurring Billing service, you can manage payment plans and subscriptions for recurring payment schedules. TMS stores your customer's payment information and personal data within secure Visa data centers, reducing storage risks and PCI DSS compliance scope.
The upgraded Recurring Billing product benefits merchants and customers in these ways:
  • Reduces effort associated with automated payments and payment card updates.
  • Decreases late payments with scheduled payments at set intervals.
  • Improves customer relationships by providing a better online experience.
  • Cuts your costs and reducing waste with streamlined payment processes.
  • Keeps payment information secure by using tokens.
